| nudity | Allan and his monkey trainer Melanie eventually become lovers and their first sexual encounter is shown. Because Allan is a quadriplegic and is paralyzed from the neck down, he must give Melanie oral sex. He lies flat on his back. She is seen bending over him in bed and supporting herself by holding on to an overhead hoist; she lifts herself with it so that he can kiss her genital area, and as her excitement builds, she grips it more tightly. Allan is shown kissing one of her breasts, which are shown, as well as her genitals, which are not shown, although she is nude from the waist down. Neither he or she are shown when the actual orgasm occurs; only the frantic reactions of the jealous service monkey. However, we hear all the moaning and heavy breathing. Although Melanie's bare breast is seen, no nudity is shown in the film. She has her shirt on but unbuttoned during the sex. Allan's old girlfriend has been cheating on him with his doctor, and they are shown after sex. |
| violence | There is a lot of violence in this film. Allan's service monkey has telepathic abilities and can read his thoughts. The monkey violently murders everyone that Allan has a grudge against or hates. Allan begins to suspect this and eventually kills the monkey by snapping its neck with his teeth. |
| profanity | 12 uses of "fuck", 1 use of "cunt", 1 use of "bastard" as well as uses of "hell", "damn", "goddamn", "asshole", "bitch", "son of a bitch" and "shit". |
| alcohol | Allan's mother smokes and drinks. |
| frightening | Allan is hit by a truck at the beginning of the film, rendering him a quadriplegic. All of the murders are very intense, as is the final confrontation between Allan and his monkey. Allan has a dream in which his two-timing girlfriend and his doctor burn to death in a house fire; he later discovers that this really has happened. |
